Customer Reviews

Informative

I found the book ti be informative, interesting and entertaining. There were a few parts that were a bit "dull" but all in in all in was a good book. I enjoyed the photos and captions of the various people that shaped Deadwood. I would recommend this book.

Deadwood Book

I purchased this book because I wanted some history on Deadwood. I thoroughly enjoyed the series on HBO and wanted some more information. Very informative. Great pictures.

Great

The book give more insight to the tv show Dead wood....I wish they would not have canceled it....Any way I enjoyed the book quite a bit..and found the grave of one of them...here in St Louis....

A good start on a Tough Town

While I doubt that Oxford will write the definative text about one of Americas Toughest Towns soon. So I guess that this slim volume will have to do! Altogether a good effort about a subject that is very popular due to the HBO Series.

The Real Deadwood

Well written , a very good account of the people [ famous and other wise ] of Deadwood S. D. If you think you know about the framous people in Deadwood, I suggest you get this book. Very informative.
